Do you ever hide your smile in photos or cover your mouth when you laugh? At Irma A. Francisco, DDS in San Jose, California, we help you regain your confidence. Dr. Irma A. Francisco offers custom veneers to correct chips, gaps, and deep stains. This cosmetic treatment can completely transform your teeth and enhance your overall well-being.
Choosing to enhance your smile is a big decision. We want you to feel completely confident before we begin. That’s why we use advanced planning tools to show you your potential results.
We also use them because they’ve proved to help reduce patient anxiety and build trust. Seeing a preview allows you to align your expectations with what is clinically possible. We guide you through this visual process so there are no surprises.
We believe you should always test-drive your smile. A physical mock-up lets you feel how the restorations will sit in your mouth and ensure that your final restorations look and feel natural. They also increase patients’ satisfaction with the finished product.
Porcelain veneers are highly durable, but they’re not a lifetime fix. Eventually, they’ll require replacement due to natural aging and wear. Still, they have a good record: over 90% after 10 years of wear and 80% after 20 years. To help your restorations last, we focus on preserving as much of your natural enamel as possible.
A 2025 article in The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice said that 97% of veneers that were adhered to natural enamel lasted longer than those applied to teeth that had lost most of their enamel. Enamel provides a much stronger bonding surface than the deeper layers of the tooth.
Dr. Francisco will evaluate your teeth to see if a conservative, enamel-saving approach is right for you. And, if veneers are not the right fit for you, we can examine teeth whitening and Invisalign® to help you reach your goals.
However you attain your goal of a brighter, more confident smile, start it with a personalized consultation with Dr. Francisco. Call or message our team today so we can discuss your goals together.
